The Fontainebleau is a striking luxury resort on Miami Beach. Designed by architect Morris Lapidus, this is an iconic building that evokes the 50's golden era, but with an ultra-modern finish. This is a fashion-forward crash-pad with cool and collected staff, in keeping with the highly contemporary vibe.

Miami itself is known for its beach culture, but for those in search of something more be sure to check out the Art Deco district; it's just as iconic as New York's, but ever so slightly more kitsch. For those wanting to experience Miami's infamous architecture and retail therapy, head to one of Morris Lapidus's other iconic buildings, the Lincoln Road Mall, otherwise known as the 'Fifth Avenue of the South'.

The facilities

The facilities here are plentiful as befits its luxury resort image. The 40,000 sq foot Lapis Spa has over 30 private treatment rooms, immersion baths, and rain tunnels all designed to relax and reinvigorate. The gym is state-of-the-art and equally expansive. The six pools are many and varied, each tailored to your specific needs, the small dipping pools are perfect for families with small children while the Island Cabana at the centre of the Round Pool offers a quiet haven for a relaxing cocktail.

Cabanas are available to rent throughout the pool complex, and each come with a 32 inch flat screen television, wireless internet and butler service. Evening entertainment comes in the form of LIV, the chic onsite club, or for those wanting something more relaxed there are over 11 restaurants to choose from.

The rooms

Each of the Fontainebleau's 1,504 rooms is polished and uniform, and amazing ocean views are promised from almost every room. They come complete with high definition flat screen televisions, advanced sound systems, high speed internet and their own 20" iMac which guarantee a fully immersive and personally tailored stay.
